Description Jeff 2004-04-05 10:45:04 UTC

I get the following on reboot:
usb.agent line 439 Cannot remove /var/run/usb is a directory.
My simple fix was to change:
(line 439)$REMOVER
    fi
    rm -f $REMOVER

to:
        $REMOVER
    fi
    rm -rf $REMOVER

BTW-Thanks for all your recent work on hotplug Greg KH, much appreciated.

Hm, no this shouldn't be a problem, as we only want to delete the file in that directory that matches up with the device being removed, we don't want
to remove the whole directory.

Exactly what device removal causes this?

Not sure, let me change usb.agent back to original and I'll get back to you.

Comment 3 Jeff 2004-04-14 10:13:18 UTC

Couple of days ago upgraded kernel to 2.6.5, not getting it now after changing back usb.agent.
False alarm I guess, sorry 'bout that.
